[cancelled] Routinization: how robust is the evidence for the EU

FBK-IRVAPP

In this paper we use different measures of routine intensity and different datasets (EWCS, PIAAC, PDII, O*NET, plus the LFS) to provide a broad picture of routinization in the EU, also focusing on across-time changes. We do not propose a new definition of routinization. We take the most prevailing ones and then 1) for each proposed measure we compare the results obtained with the different dataset used to measure routine task (EWCS, PIAAC, PDII, O*NET); 2) for a given dataset we compare the results obtained from the different measures of routine tasks. Using the European Working Conditions Survey we can also disentangle the change in the Routine index into changes of routine intensity within occupations and changes in routine intensity driven by changes in employment between occupations.
